"@TSNBobMcKenzie: Another interesting angle: will there be offer sheets on RFAs. With cap going down, inability to hide $ in minors, teams may be vulnerable."


"@DarrenDreger: @TSNBobMcKenzie. Already talk of offer sheets among teams with space. Pietrangelo, Bogosian, Little, Bailey, Henrique, Hamonic..."

It’ll be interesting what happens with Jared Spurgeon this summer. He’s asking for north of $2.5 million a season, I hear. The Wild seems unwilling to go there, especially with guys like Matt Dumba eventually going to be penciled in at right D. Spurgeon doesn’t have arbitration rights, so we’ll see how drawn out the contract squabble goes. Usually this stuff takes care of itself at some point in July.

But if things get completely out of whack, does the Wild just simply trade him and acquire another defenseman? It’s something to pay attention to. Like I said, Spurgeon is a restricted free agent. Usually this stuff rectifies itself at some point.
